Ah, good points all.

After this baby, I'll be doing some selling too. This is the last one that's coming from my body.

Hope you sell lots!

 

I'm still a-clingin' over here.

Funny thing: My parents used an antique wooden high chair with all of us kids ... and now both my kids have used it on visits to their house!

 

You know, as soon as you get rid of the baby stuff, you get pregnant again. Or at least that's what my mom says, and she had 6 kids.

 

If you did want to hold onto your 'old' stuff, you would need to buy a much bigger house to store it all. I'm with you, sell it and make some extra cash.

 

See and I'm not willing to get rid of anything yet, but that's because I know I do want another kid. However, I've lent out everything I could to a friend who has a newborn so that it's not clogging up my closet space in the meantime. lol. How's that for planning. :)


LOVE the hypothetical conversation between you and FDIL. 8snicker*

 

Your imagined fight with FDIL cracked me up.

 

Too funny.
I already know how you feel. We are moving in June/July and although we want another kid, it doesn't make sense to move everything from Europe to the US. But how am I going to get rif od his baby stroller? That thing was basically an extension of myself for over a year!

 

Hah! That's too funny!

I too recently started getting rid of the baby stuff. In fact, I gave away the pack and play (and blankets to it as well) just yesterday. I have a highchair to get rid of as well. Of course, it's missing the straps (we never used them) and the cover - after three kids, it didn't last. My problem was getting rid of the clothes. I've saved some.

A move is exciting. We've been looking but not actively. We have 6 years, I figure before we need to move:P

 

As a mother to two sons, I so relate to the fight with the daughter in law! It's going to be interesting to say the least :-)

We too have parted with all the baby stuff. For us it was the baby stuff or us! We don't have room in our house for that kind of storage.

 

Yes...purge, purge and then when you think you've done all you can, purge 10% more of your stuff (very scientific, eh?)

Sounds like it's time for a Granny No-Mercy Day...I'll be having mine soon enough, and you can come laugh at my pain.

 

I've already gotten rid of or donated most of Michael's baby stuff. My house is too small to keep it all.

We are also planning to move. We meet with our financial planner in a few weeks.

 

haha. that's a great reason to get rid of stuff!

 

Good for you!

We plan to have another so I'm saving the good stuff but I am definitely parting with the stuff that was just ok. The oversized bassinet that was practically the size of a crib. It's outta here.

 

Heh heh. Love the fight with your FDIL. Hilarious.
